Good news everyone! LV2 1.10.0 is out, along with enough parallel releases that I'm entirely too busy[1] to make a proper release email for each one. LV2 1.10.0 download: http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.10.0.tar.bz2 Cutting edge developers who go to all the best parties should note that the atom Object/Resource/Blank types have been merged and new code should use only Object (this simplification is not conceptually a compatibility breakage, but code explicitly using only Blank should be updated). Aside from this, there have been only minor improvements and additions since 1.8.0. Freshly prettified documentation and a full change log is available at http://lv2plug.in/ns/ Also check out the work-in-progress example-based LV2 book, "Programming LV2 Plugins" at http://lv2plug.in/book/ Related release announcements: http://drobilla.net/2014/08/08/jalv-1-4-6/ http://drobilla.net/2014/08/08/lilv-0-20-0/ http://drobilla.net/2014/08/08/suil-0-8-2/ http://drobilla.net/2014/08/08/sratom-0-4-6/ The RDF stack has also seen some updates: http://drobilla.net/2014/08/08/sord-0-12-2/ http://drobilla.net/2014/08/08/serd-0-20-0/ Enjoy, ~ Your friendly local neighbourhood benevolent dictator who clearly needs to automate the release process. [1] i.e. lazy, but "busy" makes me sound important, doesn't it? There could even be meetings involved. -- dr

Qtractor 0.6.2 - The Boson Walk Beta is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

So it's summer, they say. White bright and light pastel colors sparkling on every corner and turn. Cheesy and silly season, they say. Alas, southerners don't apply. Sorry about that. Of course I mean the hemisphere, obviously. For whom it might concern, all anxiety has come to an end. Indeed. It all relates back to this last May 3, when a not-so-formal meeting (aka. workshop) took place while during LAC2014@ZKM-Karlsruhe, where some pertinent and undeniable requests were dodged and framed to a "soonish" implementation. And guess what? Yup, the "soonish" are no more, or so I think. Qtractor 0.6.2 (boson walk beta) is out! Perhaps an additional word is due though, about the riddling code-names that are branding the post-TYOQA beta releases. They have no personal nor logical sense, I assure you. Perfectly arbitrary now. Everything in life and the universe is way more unconventional than just a name. Without further assay. Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio. Release highlights: * Plugins activation MIDI controller / automation (NEW) * LV2 UI Idle and Show (>= Qt5) interface support (NEW) * Discrete editing of automation curve node velues (NEW) * Missing audio/MIDI files and plugins warning message (NEW) * MIDI note drawing on tempo-map changes (FIX) * Automation curves re-adjusted to tempo-map changes (FIX) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.2.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.1): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.2-12.rncbc.suse131.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 13.1): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.2-12.rncbc.suse131.i5… http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.2-12.rncbc.suse131.x8… - quick start guide & user manual (severely outdated, see wiki): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf - wiki (help wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Prevent linear and spline automation curve modes for all integer valued subjects. Also, make sure those values are rounded to the nearest integer away from zero. - Fixed save of LV2 Presets for plugins with state files. - A man page has beed added (making up Gürkan Sengün's work on debian, thanks). - When moving plugins by eg. drag-and-dropping across tracks, automation curves were being left behind, maybe leading to unpredictable mistaken behavior. Hopefully, not anymore. - Translations install directory change. - Automation curves are now automatically re-adjusted to tempo map node changes (after a ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks). - Audio/MIDI files or plugins found missing on session load are now subject for an explicit modal warning message and prompt for an immediate session backup salvage. - Changing instrument plugin programs is now an undo/redo-able command operation, especially for DSSI but also for plugins that come with the LV2 Programs interface extension support (http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/ns/lv2ext/programs). - Drawing, selecting and/or resizing of MIDI note events that extend across tempo/time-signature changes is now made a bit more correctly over the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll), especially regarding to current snap-to-beat setting (after an outstanding ticket by yubatake, thanks). - Once again, audio frame/MIDI time drift correction has been slightly refactored to improve MIDI input monitor and timing. - Discrete automation curve node values may now be edited via a numerical entry floating spin-box on double-click (as yet another request by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks). - Pressing shift/ctrl keyboard modifiers while double-clicking on a plugin list entry now briefly reverses the current View/Options.../Plugins/Editor/Open plugin's editor (GUI) by default option preference. - Fixed an old crash lurker when switching output buses that implied a change on the number of audio channels, while on tracks that have (auto-)monitor turned on and at least one active plugin in chain (yet another ticket by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks). - MIDI Controller assignment (aka MIDI learn) and/or automation of plugins (de)activation state has been added (as requested by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks). - LV2 UI Idle and Show interfaces support added. - Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS (patch by Alessio Treglia aka. quadrispro, thanks).

[LAU] Guitarix 0.30.0 released

by hermann meyer

The Guitarix developers proudly present Guitarix release 0.30.0 For the uninitiated, Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack. Guitarix includes a large list of plugins, support LADSPA plugs, and now, new, as well LV2 plugs. The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast, glitch and click free, preset switching, full Midi and/or remote controllable (Web UI not included in the distributed tar ball). Preset could organized in Banks, so a Bank could represent your "show". If you have any issue with Preset loading/creating/handling, please read here in our wiki how this stuff work in guitarix. It is straightforward, and maybe more intuitive then you guess. http://sourceforge.net/p/guitarix/wiki/EnhancedUI/#creating-presets This release fix some bugs in our faust based zita-rev1 implementation, add LV2 support to the guitarix racks and introduce some new plugs, GX based and as well in the LV2 format. new plugs: * GxDetune (gx / LV2) * Baxandall tonestack(gx) * GxShimmizita ( LV2) * GxSwitchedTremolo (LV2) Please refer to our project page for more information: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/ Download Site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/ Forum: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/forum/ Please consider visiting our forum or leaving a message on guitarix-developer(a)lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:guitarix-developer@lists.sourceforge.net>

Yoshimi 1.2.2 available

by Will Godfrey

There are a couple of 'doh' bug fixes. A really obscure one! Some GUI tidy-ups. A few small extensions to existing features. Reinstatement of two features that got lost in the mist. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
